Mr. Schalter views Personal Injury Law as his life calling. His father experienced a massive heart attack and stroke due to carbon monoxide poisoning at his job. For 11 years Johns father, once a healthy man, sat in a wheelchair watching his family suffer and feeling constant confusion and despair. He never thought about talking to a personal injury lawyer, or realized he could even afford one.

Since then, John has made it his life's mission to help bring justice to innocent victims of reckless conduct. Consequently, Jon is constantly trying to bridge the gap between law and the people it was designed to protect. The evolution of OurAdvocate is the product of these efforts. He sees this firm as a "work in progress," constantly evolving into a "better way" of protecting his clients and serving their unique needs in Michigan, and throughout our country.

He has been a long-standing member of almost all state and local bar associations. In his free time, he writes screenplays for major studios in Hollywood. Also, he and his wife Carrie have spent the last year building schools in Kenya, Africa.

If you are a victim of an auto accident, we treat your case as we would our own family members.

Car Accidents, Truck

The most common personal injury cases are motor vehicle accidents; according to Michigan Traffic Crash Facts, there were 316,057 in 2012 in the state of Michigan. These car accidents can be complicated with intoxication by drugs and drunk driving, speeding drivers, bicycles and motorcycles, multiple vehicles at intersections with confusing right aways, juvenile drivers, senior drivers and a host of other things. Even fender-benders can cause whiplash.

Every one minute and forty seconds a motor vehicle crash occurs in Michigan. Our team at OurAdvocate will analyze your accident case from all angles to get you the compensation you deserve.

Car Accidents

In a metro area such as Detroit, car accidents are frequent. Car accidents can cause severe injuries, such as brain damage and spinal cord injury, but they can also cause life-altering, debilitating injuries that are not as obvious,such as whiplash and soft-tissue injuries. Car accidents can also cause or involve pedestrian injury or bicycle accidents and injuries. In some cases when injuries are not as obvious, you will need an experienced attorney advocate to supervise and present your case. If you have been in a car accident, call OurAdvocate today.

Truck Accidents

There are many types of error in truck accidents.

Truck, semi, and big-rig accidents and collisions involve a complicated group of laws as well as complex evidence. The trucking industry is heavily regulated, so an accident involving a truck involves many regulations and laws. Moreover, the injuries are often incredibly severe and they often have wrongful death claims associated. Death, paralysis, severe burns and brain injury caused by truck driver negligence occurs at an alarming rate. If you or someone you know has been injured in a trucking accident, call OurAdvocate today.

Let's face it. Making auto insurance payments is about as much fun as
getting a root canal from your least favorite dentist. However, a word
of warning. It's a big risk to drive a car that you own without it! Not
only...

In order to understand how to hire a Personal Injury Lawyer, you must first
clearly understand what a “Personal Injury Case” is. First of all, the words “case” and “claim” are very similar in
meaning...
